The initial experimental results of an L-band coaxial relativistic backward wave oscillator with mechanical frequency tunability are presented. The key effects of the inner-conductor contributing to the mechanical frequency tunability are investigated theoretically and experimentally. In the experiments, the L-band microwave with frequency of 1.58 GHz is radiated when the inner-conductor radius is 1.5 cm. Meanwhile, the S-band microwave with frequency of 2.31 GHz is generated after removing the inner-conductor. In addition, the frequency tuning within 4% is realized by mechanically altering the radius of the inner-conductor at a half power level.
